    Went to a wedding here and it was perfect. Really nice indoor area for ceremony with big windows looking out to the patio/garden area. Outdoor area is really cute and a perfect place for a cocktail hour. Appetizers were good and all the staff was friendly. The main hall area is gorgeous and with the lights it had a perfect rustic feel to it. Would definitely recommend this place for a wedding. Also the food was really good! Some steaks were a bit over cooked but that's about it.

    Lower patio (no table service but you can order food at the bar & bring it here)

    Outdoor patio = 4.5 stars. It's absolutely gorgeous Food = 3.75 stars. It's a limited menu, but what's offered is good with a few minor technical flaws. (e.g., potato chips super greasy, got our order wrong but food was still tasty) We stopped by on a whim. It's been over 25 yrs since we were here last. (I still have the matchbook they gave us with my then-boyfriend-now-husband's last name) The weather was spectacular & they had live music. We sat at the bar & service was just okay. (To be fair, she was really busy) We enjoyed the Caribbean Shrimp & Filet Sliders. (Originally ordered the Filet tacos, but nbd) Everything is served as small plates, room temperature. Which sounds odd, but it was actually really good. Guac was housemade, along with the chips (super good) Beef was a nice med rare & the shrimp perfectly cooked. Everything we saw coming out of the kitchen looked fantastic. We're looking forward to coming again with friends.

    A family favorite for years. The Fisherman's Inn in Elburn, IL is delicious, elegant and friendly. This is one restaurant we go back to constantly when we are searching for a really nice meal. When looking for a nicer dinner or someplace to go for a celebration (birthdays, anniversaries, graduation?) this is it. I say for a special occasion because it is a bit on the pricier side. The staff is friendly and efficient. They handle banquets as well. Our family has held company Christmas parties there for about 10 years and we have always been pleased. The environment is very fun for young and old. There is even a Captain's Table in the silo you can reserve for larger dinner parties -- that was lots of fun! You may walk the grounds on the paths and also feed the fish in the stocked ponds. Feel free to check out the web site for a bit of history on the ponds, the barn the restaurant is in and for directions: http://fishermens-inn.com/

    Fisherman's inn was the most amazing experience ever! Not only is it such a beautiful place but it also comes with an even better coordinator Mandy! From start to finish she was unbelievable. She is always sweet, well organized and easy to work with. Mandy is who made it possible to have Bella my dog in my wedding, that was such a big deal since she's such a big part of my family. She really went out of her way to make our day as perfect as it possibly can be. The only problem with this venue was once you are done being married you may never recover from not getting your monthly dose of Mandy! Worth every penny!

    I was the last person to get married out of all of my friends and had the longest lasting title of "always the bridesmaid." So when my husband and I got engaged we knew we wanted to have our wedding be something completely different than all the other ones we had attended over the years. I stumbled upon Fishermen's Inn on Pinterest and immediately fell in love. It is such a grand and elegant venue that every time you visit you get more and more excited for your big day. The service that they provided from day one was outstanding and impressive. During the beginning planning process, the venue opened their doors to get a glimpse as to how they can make your vision come to life to all future bride, grooms and their families. We were able to see how they set up for ceremonies, dinner and reception; they offered their tasting that day too! I was surprised and very pleased to see that there were about 100+ guests in attendance. I knew that the kitchen was busy and very capable of feeding guests in large quantities. It was delicious too, I don't think we ate dinner that day! In the loft, they set up examples of table settings and a row of items to rent. Yes, rent! For example, we rented lanterns, mason jars, wood slices for centerpieces which I loved because now that I'm married, those items are not sitting in my guest bedroom collecting dust. That day, we met our wedding coordinators. We had Kate Olson, who was just a delight to work with. She always has a smile on her face and answers to your questions. Fishermen's Inn is unique because we were able to visit to review our plans and vision with Kate 90 days, 60 days and 30 days prior to the wedding. In between, Kate was always available by email and responded in a timely manner. I don't know of any of venue that my friends booked that offered this service. During the meetings, you provide a list of your vendors with phone/email, this is crucial because Kate emailed and called each of them and provided them a timeline and answered any questions they may have had a week before. AMAZING!!! Fast forward to the big day... The girls and I got ready at the venue and enjoyed the space. The bridal suite is a girl's dream room and we were never cramped in there! My hair team was in front of the mirrors and my makeup artist was in the loft. We ordered a hot lunch and salad and each of us were able to sit and eat at some point while getting ready, myself included! The guys arrived later and hung out in the Groom's Pub downstairs until pictures. A bride's worst nightmare is to be sick on her wedding day. For whatever reason, I had completely lost my voice. The staff always had hot tea and honey on standby for me throughout the whole day. I swear that was only thing I was ever concerned about that day was my voice. I knew my bridesmaids, Kate and the Fishermen's Inn knew what I wanted and executed without a hitch. I could not have been more pleased to have my wedding at Fishermen's Inn. I wish I could do it all over again and maybe it wouldn't go by so fast so I can actually remember parts of it. They say you only get one day, so make sure you do it right. Fishermen's Inn got it right!!!

    Handmade arch my mom made after we found out that it was $200 to rent theirs right before the wedding!

    Elburn Lions Club - Remodeled ladies room

    My husband and I had our wedding reception here last October. I've been volunteering here with my…read morefamily for many years, and with the recent remodeling to the inside of the building it was a perfect fit! We hosted 175 people and it was a perfect sized venue. The inside of the building itself has large windows (actually sliding glass doors) which let in lots of beautiful natural light, and also nice wood trim. It's a very neutral space that you can decorate however you'd like. The ladies that help with event coordination are very nice and they loved helping us make the event perfect. The club is almost entirely run by volunteers from the community (it's a charitable organization that does so much good both locally and nationally) and they all did a fantastic job. Our guests could not stop RAVING about the food! The potatoes, chicken, pork chops, and chicken wings were some of the favorites. Everything was super smooth and you can tell how much they all care about making your day special. I would definitely recommend Elburn Lions Club for a wedding shower, reception, rehearsal dinner, etc. or any other group event you are looking for (birthday, family reunion, office Christmas party, etc.)! You will not be disappointed! Oh, and my mom just told me that they just finished remodeling the bathrooms and added a bridal room- such an awesome touch!

    This place is so much fun that I work here for free! Bingo, Raffles, Elburn Days, Car Show, and…read morevarious other fundraising events. Lots of good people doing good things for the surrounding communities. They also send money to disasters and terror event nationally and internationally... A great place to have a family reunion, work picnic, or any other event.

    Absolutely one of the most pleasant vendor experience of our special day! Must not miss out!…read moreElements Preserved was my discovery during my Bridal Shower, for a peacock chair, and then revisited for my sister in law's Baby shower. Element's pieces made a statement, that had our whole family and friends in awe. I knew we had to have Elements Preserved pieces for the Wedding day as well. It is absolutely worth the effort to go in person and see the warehouse in its entirety. Beth's eye for detail and creative mind really is present in the beautiful space. The moments in her warehouse alongside my-then Fiance brought the most excitement and warmth when choosing which items to rent. Truly fine-tuning our aesthetic,our personality, our love story and finding items that reflected who we are. Throughout our wedding we had moments with each other where we could look over and see those pieces scattered through our cocktail hour and reception that made the biggest impact. I could not have imagined our wedding day without those gems form Elements Preserved. Thank you Beth for your guidance and passion. It would not have had that loving essence anchoring us. We thank you for your part in our journey!

    The most beautiful furniture and other rentals for your event! Seriously!! And at amazing prices!!…read morePlus Beth is a delight to work with and offered fantastic advice (without being pushy or taking over my vision). She was so crucial in helping build the look of my event. I love, love, loved the two lounges they helped me create and all the little pieces that helped fill out the rest of the event. So happy my photographer, Anamaria Vieriu, helped me find Beth!!! Thank you, Beth!!
